With that much money up for grabs and the history of some poor calls that go on in almost every tournament from time to time, better hope in a game deciding 1st and 2nd there is no controversy ;) hehe

I'm not usually one to complain, but just because I just took an english exam... You will be a better PR guy if you can speak and write in better english. Making your openings and announcements better presented will elicit a larger response. I'm sorry, but in my personal opinion (only me, disregard if you don't care) your name sounds half-fast and not something that I would trust. Maybe its just my environment where anything called "bling-bling" means white kids pretending to be in gangs, but it isn't appealing to me. Add to that that I have to read your posts 3-4 times before I get anything out of them, its just a serious turn off.

Its a fad and a pathetic one at that, kids trying to be cool and it appears that you are trying to hitch onto that.

I'm sorry if I insult you. I think that its really great that you are doing this and 5 grand is a lot of money. It does sound like you want to do the right things (get people playing paintball... offering big prizes), and your advertising may work with rich kids trying to be cool, but it may be a better marketing strategy to lose the "dumb white kids" facad and put on a little more serious scheme. I really do mean this as constructive critisizm and I really do wish there were more places like yours offering tournaments, and I think that you may get more teams if you lose the fad and go more hardcore paintball.

As detroit will be the first to tell you....

He can't spell... or type. But he can run a mill :)

EDIT: And as far as the names... I think his sister is named Cleveland or something... it's a city thAng :)

Haven't quite figured out the blingbling thing yet... still working on that one... but I'm just a geek with a trigger finger itch.

Isn't that supposed to be half-assed.

"You did a half-assed job"

I've never heard the term half-fast.

I didn't know if "assed" was filtered or not :p and "half-fast" sounds close enough

jeez, NJPaint! ain't that the pot calling the kettle black...between (to be proper, it should be "among," not "between" bc it's more than 2 things in the group/list, but who's counting?) "half-fast," English w/ a lower-case "e," criticiSm w/ a "z," run-on sentence (which also turns out to be a paragraph), "its" as a contraction for "it is," and "that that" (near end). GL on the exam! :p just messing with you, man.

for anyone who doesn't know, NJPaint and i are friends, and we each have the job of making the other one's life difficult, so i'm not criticiZing (sry, had to do it) to be an ***. but this is actually in return for saying he'll "break [my] knees" on my FB thread.

Haha! preach on bro! I would be less inclined to sign up with a delivery like that. This is how I read it, like 8 times.

Do the people that shoot mags not like money i DONT have? Any of you on the list? For the event, - www.blingblingproducts.com, - agd pride are going to play

OT, but one of my pet peeves on AO is using the wrong verb conjugation. It should be "agd pride IS" not "agd pride are." AGD Pride, AGD, WGP, Smart Parts, etc. are all collective nouns; you wouldn't go around saying "my family are from [place]" would you? No, you would say "my family is from [place.]"

Hehe, sorry for the rant; it's just something that I've noticed on AO a lot.

Is this the tourney being held out in Georgia next month?
